FanDuel Promo Code for Knicks-Cavs, May 23 Games

Before placing any wagers on tonight’s matchup between the Knicks and the Cavaliers, it is vital to understand the data behind the welcome offer. Below is a quick breakdown of everything you need to know to claim your sign-up bonus.

FanDuel Promo Code No Code Needed
New FanDuel User Offer (All other legal sports betting states) Bet $5, Get $150 in Bonus Bets if Your Bet Wins
Terms and Conditions 21+ and Present in Participating States.

For this highly anticipated postseason matchup, new FanDuel customers can take advantage of a stellar welcome offer. By placing a first real-money wager of just $5 on this game—or any other matchup on the current NBA slate—new users will receive $150 in bonus bets if their initial ticket cashes. This provides a fantastic opportunity to back either the Knicks or the Cavaliers with a significant added incentive attached to your first wager.

I trust this promotion because there is absolutely no odds limit for your first real-money wager. Whether you choose to back a heavy moneyline favorite to maximize your chances of unlocking the bonus, or you prefer to hunt for value on a spread or an underdog in this Knicks-Cavaliers showdown, you are fully eligible for the reward as long as your qualifying bet is a winner. Keep in mind that this specific welcome bonus is exclusively available to strictly new FanDuel customers looking to get in on the NBA action.

How to Use Your FanDuel NBA Promo Tonight

Team Spread Moneyline Total (O/U)
New York Knicks +2.5 (-110) +114 Over 214.5 (-114)
Cleveland Cavaliers -2.5 (-110) -134 Under 214.5 (-106)

When evaluating the board for tonight’s matchup, the spread offers a compelling angle for both sides. I always let the analytics guide my wagers, and here are the two distinct ways you can play your $5 qualifying bet:

  1. Backing Cleveland’s Home Court: The Cavaliers have been excellent at covering the number at Rocket Arena, going a dominant 7-2 against the spread (ATS) at home over their last nine games. Betting $5 on the favored Cavs moneyline (-134) would return a $3.73 profit to safely unlock your bonus. If you lay the points and take Cleveland on the spread (-2.5 at standard -110 odds), it yields a $4.55 profit if they cover.
  2. Riding New York’s Momentum: On the other side, the Knicks are rolling right now, posting a 4-1 ATS record in their last five contests. New York brings immense firepower into Cleveland, boasting an elite 120.3 offensive rating and averaging 119.0 points per game this postseason. A $5 wager on the underdog Knicks moneyline (+114) nets a $5.70 profit, while taking them on the spread (+2.5 at -110) also yields a $4.55 profit.

(Note: Individual player prop statistics are currently unavailable for this matchup, but team trends strongly point toward a highly competitive game.)

With both teams entering the game without any reported injuries, deciding whether to back Cleveland’s home-court advantage or New York’s elite scoring attack is where you’ll find the great value needed to cash your ticket.

Ryan Fox wins first career major at 2026 Open Championship

CNN
(CNN) — Ryan Fox took home the Claret Jug after draining a birdie putt on the 18th hole to win the 2026 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale on Sunday.The 39-year-old Fox beat out American Cameron Young to win his first career major title, becoming only the third New Zealander to win a men’s major golf championship.Fox came into the final hole tied with Young, after the 29-year-old finished the round at 6-under 64 a few hours before.The Kiwi powered his drive into the middle of the fairway and then set up the biggest putt of his golf career so far with an approach shot that landed about 12 feet from the pin.As the putt fell into the hole, the crowd in Southport, England, gave Fox a rousing ovation as he raised both arms in the air to celebrate the achievement.The putt capped off four birdies in the last six holes for Fox.Fox was at a loss for words while speaking to the NBC Sports broadcast after the win.“I don’t really know what to think at the moment. I’ve got a lot of people to thank. First of all, my family. My wife and kids are in Florida at the moment. I spoke to my kids last night and they said, bring back a trophy. I think that’s a pretty cool one to bring back for them,” Fox said. “My family back in New Zealand and all my supporters back there. I know it’s been a long night for them, but I’m glad it was worthwhile.”Fox finished with a 2-under 68 after trailing Sam Burns, who held a two-stroke lead coming into Sunday’s final round.Fox also becomes the third-oldest major winner in the last 10 years, trailing only Phil Mickelson at the 2021 PGA Championship and Tiger Woods at the 2019 Masters.“Just an unbelievable week. The golf course was fantastic. The English weather was fantastic. You guys out there were fantastic. The support was amazing. This is pretty cool. I’m sorry if I’ve forgotten anyone, but thank you very much,” Fox added.It is another disappointment for Young, who is still looking for his first career major title despite winning The Players earlier this year. Young finished one shot back of the win at the 2022 Open Championship at St. Andrews and held the lead heading into the final round at the Masters back in April.It is also another let down for Burns, another golfer looking for his maiden major win.The Louisiana State University alum came into the round ahead by two strokes but quickly lost it and went birdie-free for the final 12 holes.“(Fox) is a well-earned champion and hats off to him,” Burns said. “He did what he needed to do down the stretch and ultimately just came up a couple short today.”Defending champion Scottie Scheffler stayed within striking range throughout the round, but wound up with a 3-under 67 on Sunday to finish tied for fourth with Tommy Fleetwood.After a drama-filled tournament, Bryson DeChambeau finished tied for 14th while Rory McIlroy, who has been critical of the LIV Golfer all tournament long, ended tied for 40th.Fox’s journey to first major winFox’s road to his first career major title wasn’t the easiest. It came with many bumps and U-turns.While speaking to CNN’s Don Riddell ahead of the Desert Classic in Dubai in early 2025, Fox opened up about his mental health issues, including being an older rookie after spending years on the DP World Tour and the PGA Tour of Australia.“I think being a rookie at 37 years old on the PGA Tour was, I probably wasn’t quite prepared for what that was again,” Fox told CNN.“I knew all the golf courses, knew how to travel work, knew where to stay, and everything was new on the PGA Tour, and that was probably a shock to the system more than anything.”Fox comes from a lineage of athletes within his family tree, including his father, Grant Fox, who was a main kicker for the New Zealand national rugby team and his grandfather, Merv Wallace, a former New Zealand cricketer who later coached the national team.Fox spoke out on the “pressure” a golfer faces, mentioning the 2024 death of former PGA Tour golfer Grayson Murray, whose parents later confirmed it was death by suicide.“It can be a stressful life. It’s all performance-based. There’s a lot of pressure on – Looking after your mental health is really, really important, and having people to talk to and all of that is part of that,” Fox said.“It’s a shame it got to that point with Grayson that, you know, we’ve had to have those, those pretty tough conversations now, but it will help – hopefully it helps someone else in a similar situation going forward because we certainly don’t want to see it again.”CNN’s Kyle Tatelbaum and Don Riddell contributed to this reporting This write has been updated with additional reporting The-CNN-Wire™ & © 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.
